Welcome to the Raw review for September 23, 2019.
Story Progression
This will be a different look at the Fiend, Bray Wyatt. His segments have been spectacular for the past few months, but why does it work? Bray walks that line of being funny while also bringing the scary part of his act to the show. He can not appear as himself live, so he must do his promos from the FireFly Fun House. It works because you don’t know if you are getting the aw sucks part of the masked killer part.
In praise of Carmella. While Truth has seen his stock rise especially after the 24/7 Championship was announced, we must not forget the part Carmella brings to the table. Always ready with an escape plan or a cleaver disguise, she should be celebrated for his contribution. Tonight, she attacked Truth to win the 24/7 Championship. Truth was not even mad, celebrating with her as she won the belt.
